Job Description

📣 Hiring: Commercial Lines Underwriting Team Lead | Richmond, VA

I’m working on a newly created leadership opportunity with an established P&C insurance carrier that is continuing to grow its Mid-Atlantic operation.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys leading and developing underwriters but still wants to stay close to the technical side of underwriting.

The role:

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of approximately 5 Commercial Lines Underwriters
  • Remain hands-on with larger and more complex accounts
  • Help develop a relatively junior underwriting team
  • Focus on Small Commercial / BOP business
  • Work closely with independent agency partners
  • Help improve underwriting processes, workflows, and team structure
  • Support continued growth throughout the Mid-Atlantic region

What they’re looking for:

  • Commercial P&C underwriting experience
  • Strong Small Commercial and/or BOP background
  • Carrier experience preferred
  • Leadership, team lead, mentoring, or supervisory experience
  • Strong technical underwriting judgment around pricing, risk selection, and profitability
  • Someone who genuinely enjoys coaching and developing other underwriters
  • Formal management experience is helpful, but they’re open to someone ready to take the next step into leadership

📍 Richmond, VA
🏢 Hybrid: 3 days onsite per week
💰 Competitive leadership-level compensation + annual bonus

This could be an excellent next step for a Senior Commercial Underwriter, Lead Underwriter, Team Lead, or Underwriting Supervisor who wants more formal leadership responsibility without giving up underwriting entirely.
